DETROIT (AP) According to the article Ford Motor Company is recalling more than 10,000 redesigned 2013 Escape SUVs to fix carpet padding that could get in the way of braking. Ford says that wrongly positioned carpet padding could reduce space around the pedals and cause drivers to hit the side of the brake pedal when switching from the accelerator. Dealers will remove the carpet padding and replace a console trim panel at no charge. The article goes onto say that Ford recall covered 8,266 vehicles in the U.S. and affected about 2,000 vehicles in Canada and a couple of hundred in Mexico. Ford has not received any reports of accidents or injuries related to the problem. The recall is expected to begin July 23rd. Owners maybe call the automaker at 866-436-7332.
